Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledges that the official results are not yet complete. But at Likud headquarters, his speech is already making the case for who should govern, and which parties should be excluded.
In the i24NEWS English broadcast, carried with an English voiceover, Netanyahu points to exit polls showing Likud as the largest party. He then calls for a strong right-wing government and warns against a coalition dependent on Arab parties he describes as anti-Zionist. The broadcast's headline carries his claim that the right-wing bloc has a "decisive majority"; that is his political message, not a confirmed election result.
The speech drew roughly 160,000 views in its first day, compared with about 4,000 for the channel's usual regular upload. It combines thanks to campaign workers with criticism of forecasts that had predicted a weaker Likud showing.
Security also occupies a substantial part of the address. Netanyahu recounts military actions in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza, and strikes against Iran's regime. Later, he presents cooperation with Donald Trump as an opportunity to confront threats from Iran.
The distinction between a party's showing and a workable government also runs through the channel's accompanying coverage. Its explainers on coalition options, the meaning of the results and whether soldiers' votes could change them all drew unusually strong starts alongside the speech.
A major right-wing political party in Israel, founded in 1973 through an alliance of several right-wing parties.
